The San Francisco 49ers could also be on the hunt for a veteran quarterback this offseason, and common supervisor John Lynch has revealed that he reached out to none aside from Tom Brady.

However whereas Lynch might have been joking, the 49ers’ want for a dependable quarterback isn’t any laughing matter. The workforce has undergone quite a few quarterback modifications in recent times, beginning three totally different gamers in 2022 alone of their bid for the NFC title.

It is not the primary time the 49ers have proven curiosity in Brady. In 2020, Lynch expressed curiosity within the then-free agent quarterback, however Brady finally landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With the quarterback place in flux for the 49ers, Lynch acknowledged that the workforce might search for extra assist in free company. “We’ll have a look at every little thing,” he stated. “We’ll attempt to enhance our workforce wherever we will. We’re seeking to get higher at each place, quarterback included.”

Mayor Breed Orders Increased Scrutiny of San Francisco Contract Work, Grantees | KQED
![Mayor Breed Orders Increased Scrutiny of San Francisco Contract Work, Grantees | KQED Mayor Breed Orders Increased Scrutiny of San Francisco Contract Work, Grantees | KQED](https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/230808-SanFranciscoCityHall-24-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg)
The city is also still working to earn back voters’ trust after a spiraling corruption scandal within the Department of Public Works and the Department of Building Inspection, which has led to convictions for Mohammed Nuru, former head of the Director of Public Works, and former Public Utilities Commission General Manager Harlan Kelly.
“Those who undermine our contracting processes and exploit public resources are not welcome to do business with our City and will be held accountable,” said City Attorney David Chiu. “I am proud of our attorneys and investigators who have worked diligently to root out corruption and maintain the integrity of City government”
Meanwhile, those hoping to unseat Breed in the mayoral election are laying out their own plans to combat corruption in City Hall.
“You can’t solve the problem when you are the problem, and we can’t trust the same people who built this broken, corrupt bureaucracy to turn it around,” nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie said in a statement. “I am the only candidate who will bring a new culture of accountability to City Hall on day one.”
Lurie wants to remove a campaign fundraising loophole where candidates are able to raise more than the $500 contribution limit through ballot measure initiatives. He also wants to raise candidate filing fees for those who have records of ethics misconduct, fully fund the Ethics Commission, require reporting for any meals costing over $500, and create an ethics enforcement dashboard to track campaign finance reports, lobbying disclosures, gifts, contracts and other areas for potential conflicts of interest.
The plan explicitly targets several of the ethics complaints that former interim mayor and supervisor Mark Farrell, who is also running for mayor, has faced in the current election cycle. He has come under scrutiny for his ties to the moderate political organizing group Together SF Action, which has raised millions of dollars through a ballot initiative to slash the number of city commissions.
Farrell faced similar accusations for campaign finance violations during his bid in 2010 for San Francisco Supervisor. The Ethics Commission fined Farrell $191,000 – the largest in the city’s history – and he later paid the city $25,000 to settle the case.
Still, Farrell has sought to portray his candidacy as a break from past City Hall scandals.
“I will bring new transparency and accountability from day one,” said Farrell, who has defended his record on the current campaign trail. “I will centralize all third party non profit contracts under the Office of the Mayor to reduce fraud and waste while bringing greater accountability.”
Supervisors running for mayor criticized Breed for the corruption that has come to light during her administration, pointing to their own efforts to weed out corruption in City Hall from within.
“Our current mayor’s administration is one of the most corrupt in San Francisco history,” said Supervisor Ahsha Safaí. “More of her senior officials have been convicted of corruption than in any other administration in modern times.”
The Excelsior supervisor pointed to his efforts to maintain funding for the Ethics Commission when Breed attempted to reduce it and said mandating audits of nonprofits and other city contractors will be a priority if he is elected.

Christian Walker traveling with Diamondbacks to San Francisco
![Christian Walker traveling with Diamondbacks to San Francisco Christian Walker traveling with Diamondbacks to San Francisco](https://arizonasports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/GettyImages-christian-walker-diamondbacks-e1725330404877.jpg)
PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed first baseman Christian Walker would travel with the club to San Francisco for their three-game series against the Giants starting on Tuesday.
Walker has been on the injured list since June 30 with an oblique strain, and his return appears to be fast approaching.
Before the game, Lovullo said Walker would not necessarily need a second rehab game after the veteran played five innings at Salt River Fields on Saturday. He took ground balls before each of the last two games at Chase Field and has been facing live pitching and hitting off the Trajekt machine — which mimics MLB pitchers.
Walker told Arizona Sports on Monday he was hopeful to play in San Francisco.
The veteran has a .254/.338/.476 batting line, 23 home runs and 71 RBIs this season as Arizona’s everyday cleanup hitter when healthy.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. remains day-to-day
Lovullo said outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who left Sunday’s game with left calf tightness, will travel to San Francisco and undergo imaging on Tuesday morning.
Gurriel is still considered day-to-day until Lovullo receives more information on his test results. Gurriel did not enter Monday’s 11-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, as Pavin Smith started in left field.
Drey Jameson update
The idea of having pitcher Drey Jameson — who has missed this season after Tommy John surgery — get reps in the Arizona Fall League has been discussed internally, Lovullo said pregame.
“I think he’s thrown 11 bullpens to date on a Tuesday-Friday schedule, and we’ll resume that again tomorrow,” Lovullo said. “We’ve been discussing (Jameson pitching this fall). I think it’s a possibility, for sure.”
